What kind of a hunter baits a bear, who is hungry, and slaughters it while it is eating?? This person is not an ethical hunter. Mother Bears will be slaughtered because they are eating to keep their little ones alive. Please DO NOT bring the spring bear hunt back. Read more

I am opposed to the spring bear hunt because it does not address or resolve the issue of nuisance bears or public safety. Nor would an enhanced hunt as the Minister has suggested in a recent announcement. Evidence abounds from a variety of sources. Read more

This is completely ridiculous. Hunting bears doesn’t improve human safety. Stopping human-bear conflict is achieved by removing access to garbage, barbecues, and other attractants. Bears have low reproduction rates, meaning the survival of adult females is vital for the species.

Yes I support the permanent return of the spring bear hunt and all the changes that ago along with it. Now just return the wolf and coyote hunting around Algonquin park and remove the tag requirement. The number of these seen during the deer hunt over the last couple of years is insane. Read more

Hunting starving and emaciated creatures whose habitat is constantly being encroached upon is immoral and very unsportsmanlike. As a Canadian citizen I am deeply opposed to such barbarity and demand a full and complete stop to the bear hunt year round. Read more

Please do not eliminate special black bear hunting opportunities for non-resident immediate relatives. We are dairy farmers in northern Ontario. The current set up allows my non-resident dad to take my sons bear hunting on our own farm. Read more

I am against the hunting of Black Bear. I think by now, unless we are not aware of statistics on why you feel the need to do this. With the possible of orphan cubs, the mess of changing the eco balance of the wildlife. This again in due course go in that direction. Read more
